Energy use statement compared with last year!!

[Surprisedtosaytheleast]

The hidden costs of lockdown
We are in for 23 of 24 hours a day. Whereas last year out for most of the day.

And very evident from our energy usage!! What’s others?!

We've not had the heating on more. Maybe used the oven a bit more. TV been on a lot

I’m not expecting a huge difference, as dh often works from home. Maybe more electricity as have dc permanently on screens (ones working from home).

We're on a pre payment meter but I've noticed we've probably doubled our electricity usage, but that's with OH doing night shifts with PC and an electric heater on all night.

But your energy use in the living room reduced from feb to March. Or am I reading it wrong?

I've just checked mine as I give monthly readings. Have only used an extra 30 units of electricity and used less gas than the month before

Correct.

However my energy statements run from mid of month to mid of month. So was 15/02-15/03

That's last years details where they have reduced
Sorry I was comparing last month to this month rather than last year to this year (I dont have nest and switched energy supplier this year)

Hopefully the fact we aren't using our cars/public transport much less, the cost of that counteract energy usage. We normally fill the car up three times a month, but with DH at home, I'm the only one using it for shopping, work, dropping DD off at work and delivering Mum's shopping - I haven't even used half a tank.

We got our monthly electric bill the other day after sending a reading and I nearly fell over. It's so high that I plan to call them to check there isn't a fault...
